Uninvited Guests
“THIS IS THE MOST RELAXED I’ve been all week.” Sarah sighed in pleasure
and leaned forward to clink her beer bottle with her best friend Kristin’s.
Their friend Andi raised hers in salute from across the deck where she
lounged in a canvas chair.
“How much of a sad suck am I that a couple of beers on my deck
followed by pizza is the highlight of my week?” Sarah chugged another
mouthful.
Kristin laughed. “You can stop the ‘poor me’ act. If I suggested we swap
lives, even for a week, you’d fall over your feet rushing to escape.”
Sarah waggled her eyebrows. “Try me.”
Kristin leaned forward in her chair. “Sarah Santoro. You have won the
‘Escape My Life’ competition. Your prize, should you choose to accept it, is
a week living the high life of Kristin Astuti. Yes, Sarah, you will live in
Kristin’s two-bedroom apartment in the lush suburb of Box Hill with a
panoramic view over the four-lane Maroondah Highway, sharing with her
weird housemate and his terrible taste in music.
You’ll commute into
Melbourne every day to slave at whatever temp job is on offer. Then you’ll
return home every night to takeaway and The Bachelor on TV while you
dream of your own prince… Sorry, princess. Although if you’re taking my
life for a week, does that mean you get a prince?”
“No way. At least, not unless it’s Jake Gyllenhaal.”
Andi barked a short laugh. “And what do you get in this life swap,
Kristin?”
Kristin stood and posed, one hand on her hip, the other holding the beer
bottle high. “The comfortable life of Sarah Santoro! I’ll be woken every
morning by the world’s cutest seven-year-old jumping on my bed
demanding orange juice. I’ll prepare breakfast for Noa and myself, which
I’ll eat on this very deck, listening to the birds, smelling the coffee, and
watching the veggies grow. And when Noa goes off to school, I’ll drive two
minutes to my steady job as admin assistant for one of Ringwood’s largest
construction firms.” Kristin’s mouth turned down.
“Okay, while I admit the
whole two-minute commute thing is appealing, you have possibly the most
unappreciative, misogynistic, arsehole of a boss in Australia. But I’ll say it
again: you have a two-minute commute. You don’t cram onto an
overcrowded city train and spend thirty minutes jammed under someone’s
stinky armpit.”
“And that closeness is why I put up with it. So I’m nearby for Noa.”
Sarah sipped her beer. “Although, you’re right. I wouldn’t swap lives, even
for a minute. Even though this is my only evening to myself, I still miss
Noa.”
